LIQUID FUEL.

No Drawin g.

To all whom; it may concern Be it known that I, ARTHUR A. BAcxHAUs, ofBaltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented a certain new anduseful Improvement in Liquid Fuel, and do hereby declare thatthefollowing is a full, clear, and exact as well as alcohol, and aningredient adapted to blend the same or. form a solution with thehydrocarbon and alcohol.

A further object of my invention is to provide a fuel of this character,which is of such a nature that only a very small quantity of the thirdingredient is found necessary.

' A further object is to provide a fuel of this character which containsa large percentage of the 'etroleum hydrocarbon, notwithstanding tl'iesmall percentage of the third ingredient.

A further object is to provide a fuel of this character inwhich thethird ingredient is a phenol x Another object is to provide such a fuelin which the third ingredient is cresol.

Further objects of my invention will appear from the detaileddescription thereof contained hereinafter While my invention is capableof being carried out in difierent ways, for the purpose of illustrationI shall describe only cervtain ways of carrying out the same herein Forexample, a fuel made in accordance with my invent on may be comprised of2-- 25 parts by volume of ethyl alcohol, 25 parts by volume of gasolene,25 parts by volume of kerosene, and

8 parts by volume 'ofcresol.

Fuels made in accordance with my invention may contain, also, additionalblending" agents, if desired, I

As another example of my invention, the

fuelmay, accordingly, be comprised of 25 parts by volume of ethylalcohol,

manta duly a, rate,

25 parts by volume of kerosene,

25 parts by volume of gasolene,

4 parts by volume of, acetone, and

5 parts by volume of cresol. Again, a fuel made in accordance with myinvention may be comprised-of:--

25 parts by volume of kerosene,

25 parts by volume of gasolene,

25 parts by volume of ethyl alcohol,

4: parts by volume of cresol, and 4: parts by volume of benzol.

As another example of my invention, the fuel may be comprised of 25parts by volume of alcohol,

25 parts by volume of kerosene,

25 parts by volume of gasolene,

l5parts by volume of toluene,

15 parts by volume of benzol, and

15 parts byvolume of cresol.

As still another example of my invention, the fuel may be comprised ofthe follow 1ng: I

25 parts by volume of kerosene,

25 parts by volume of gasolene,

2 iparts by volume of ethyl alcohol,

17 parts by volume of methyl alcohol,

17 parts by volume of benzol,

17 parts by volume of nitrobenzol,

'17 parts by volume of cresol, 17 parts by volume of toluene.

It is to be understood, also, that, instead of the phenols abovereferred to, I may use carbolic acid or other phenols.

It will be understood, also, that, instead late, analcohol, and a phenoladapted to blend the other constituents.

2, A fuel comprising a petroleum distil- Klate, an alcohol and cresoladapted to blend 3 the other constituents,

3. A fuelcomprising asolene, an alcohol and a phenol adapted to' lendthe other eon-= stituenta 4. A fuel comprising asolene, an alcohol andcresoladapted. to b end the other constituents.

5. A fuel comprisin gasolene, kerosene, an alcohol and a pheno adaptedto blend the other constituents.

6. A fuel comprising 'gasolene, kerosene, an alcohol and cresol adaptedto blend the other constituents.

7. A fuel comprising a etroleum distillate, ethyl alcohol and a .p enoladapted to blend the other constituents.

8. A fuel comprising a petroleum distillate,- ethyl alcohol and cresoladapted to blend the other constituents.

9. A fuel comprising asolene, ethyl alcohol and'a phenol adapte to blendthe other constituents.

10. A fuel'comprisin gasolene, ethyl alcohol and cresol adapte to blendthe other constituents.

11. A fuel comprising gasolene, kerosene,

ethyl alcohol and a phen the other constituents.

12. A fuel comprising asolene, kerosene, ethyl alcohol and cresol aapted to blend the other constituents In testimony that I claim theforegoing I have hereunto set my hand.
